JitCompilation with old VB.NET compiler of Mono

[jochenwezel]

Bug/Feature request

JitCompilation for VB.NET code involves the Mono VBNC compiler which is in a bad condition since it never reached full compatibility/quality with MS .NET Framework implementation

msbuild (Roslyn compilar) provides much better compilation results.

Current test results

https://travis-ci.com/CompuMasterGmbH/CompuMaster.JitCompilation/builds/137062643?utm_medium=notification&utm_source=email

6) Error : CompuMaster.Tests.JitCompilation.VBInMemoryCompiler.compileCode_with_debug
CompileException : Line 0: Error VBNC_CRASH: Visual Basic.Net Compiler version 0.0.0.5943 (Mono 4.7 - tarball)

Solution options

• Maybe there is a possibility to check if msbuild/roslyn is available and to involve this compiler.
• Alternatively it might be a required change at source code of Mono to change VB.NET compiler in general
